Q.

Let the function f(x)=2x3+(2p-7)x2+3(2p-9)x-6 have a maxima for some value of x < 0 and a minima for some value of x > 0. Then, the set of all values of p is    [2023]

1 (92,)  
2 (0,92)  
3 (-92,92)  
4 (-,92)  

Ans.

(4)

We have, f(x)=2x3+(2p-7)x2+3(2p-9)x-6

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get 

f'(x)=6x2+2(2p-7)x+3(2p-9) 

  f'(0)<03(2p-9)<0 

p<92

 So, p(-,92)
